His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

In 2016, the agency began cutting the naturalization fee in half for immigrants with slightly higher incomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782917/fee-waivers-for-citizenship-applications-harder-to-get-under-new-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">separate rule\u003c/a> in October that made it harder for low-income immigrants to qualify for fee waivers. This would have prevented about 200,000 people in California from becoming citizens, critics say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 13, a federal judge in San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/10/politics/federal-court-halts-changes-fee-waiver-for-naturalization/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blocked\u003c/a> the administration from continuing to implement the changes, which stopped allowing immigrants to use means-tested benefits like Medi-Cal as a way to qualify for the fee waiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents say the proposed rule is another attempt by the Trump administration to restrict legal immigration, with potentially lasting consequences for future U.S. elections since naturalization enables immigrants to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Catherine Seitz, legal director at the Immigration Institute of the Bay Area\"]‘I think it’ll make it so that so many people won’t be able to apply for naturalization, they’ll have to put it off because they have to pay their rent first or feed their family first.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact could be huge in California, which has more than\u003ca href=\"http://data.cmsny.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 2 million adults\u003c/a> eligible to naturalize — about a quarter of the total population nationwide eligible to become citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed fee hikes combined with further restrictions to fee exemptions would negatively impact most of the people served by the \u003ca href=\"https://iibayarea.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Immigration Institute of the Bay Area\u003c/a>, said Catherine Seitz, the. nonprofit’s legal director. The group helped more than 1,800 immigrants naturalize over the last year through citizenship workshops and legal aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many people won’t be able to apply for naturalization.

The three companies currently run four California detention centers for ICE, with a combined total of roughly 5,200 beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The full text of the new contracts was not publicly accessible, but here’s what we know.

Those facilities — two in the Central Valley town of McFarland and another in Adelanto — will add an additional 2,150 beds “as facility annexes,” the statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re pleased to have been able to build on our long-standing partnership with ICE to help the agency meet its need for processing center beds in California, which comply with the Federal government’s performance-based national detention standards,” said George C.

I started shaking. … It was just a shock for me because I depend on that treatment.’[/pullquote]When she was 7, doctors in the Bay Area invited Bueso to participate in a clinical trial for a new drug to treat her condition — mucopolysaccharidosis type VI. In 2003, her family moved to California from Guatemala. The clinical trial eventually led to federal approval for the treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with Bueso’s disease lack an enzyme that allows the body to break down certain sugars. The genetic mutation leads to very short stature, because the skeletal system cannot develop normally, as well as pulmonary, heart and other problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every week, Bueso receives an intravenous infusion of medicine at a hospital in Oakland. Her doctor said the treatments have extended her life many years beyond what Guatemalan physicians had predicted when Bueso was a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without the weekly treatment replenishing the missing enzyme, Bueso would die in six to 12 months, said Dr. Paul Harmatz, a pediatrician at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and Bueso’s physician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seemed Bueso had finally reached a sense of stability until mid-August, when she got a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) informing her she was no longer authorized to stay in the country and had 33 days to leave or face deportation. The medicine she needs to survive is not available in Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s devastating,” said Harmatz, who led the clinical trial Bueso entered 16 years ago. “I would never even contemplate stopping enzyme therapy on a patient with this type of disease. It would be literally pulling the plug on a respirator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso was getting her weekly IV infusion at UCSF when she learned of the initial news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom and I, we started crying together. I started shaking. I was pale,” said Bueso. “It was just a shock for me because I depend on that treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘A Hunt to Restrict Immigration’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early August, USCIS stopped considering requests for medical deferred action. The only exceptions will be for military families, said an agency spokeswoman who declined to be identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Dr. Paul Harmatz, a UCSF pediatrician who led the trial in which Maria Isabel Bueso participated']‘I would never even contemplate stopping enzyme therapy on a patient with this type of disease. It would be literally pulling the plug on a respirator.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokeswoman previously disputed that the program was ending altogether, saying that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — the agency in charge of deportations — would now be handling medical deferred action requests instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso’s attorney, Martin Lawler, said ICE had not yet provided a way to apply for protection from deportation, and USCIS had not provided the family any more information as of last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no reason not to extend the status of people who are here who will basically die without the medicines that we provide them,” Lawler said about the initial notice Bueso and her family received from immigration. “They have private medical insurance, they are no burden to the taxpayer. Isabel’s father works and supports the family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy changes come as part of a series of new rules and interpretations of regulations by the Trump administration that are aimed at restricting new immigration and denying protections to immigrants already in the country, advocates say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such recent policies include penalizing green card applicants who use certain public benefits, and making it much harder for thousands of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border to gain asylum protections. Many of these executive actions are being challenged in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='migrants' label='Related Coverage']“This latest decision is yet another indication that the Trump administration is seeking to close off all avenues of relief for people here in the United States,” said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a policy analyst with the American Immigration Council. “There seems to be no guiding principle behind all of this except for a hunt to restrict immigration in as many ways as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) denounced the Trump administration’s policy change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear that this administration will not stop looking for any opportunity to wage war on immigrants,” said Chu. “These families deserve the certainty of knowing that they can stay together and in one place while seeking treatment for diseases like cancer, HIV and cerebral palsy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not return requests for comment on how people can apply for medical deferred action, or why Bueso’s denial letter failed to mention she could seek a review of her case with the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE reviews each case on its own merits and exercises appropriate discretion after reviewing all the facts involved,” said Paul Prince, an agency spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with USCIS say they receive about 1,000 non-military requests a year for deferred action on humanitarian grounds. Many are related to family support or medical issues, and most are denied, according to USCIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is unclear how many immigrants have received denial notices like Bueso’s. But attorneys in multiple states reported getting similar rejection letters from USCIS for pending applications, some of which were submitted months before the initial policy change, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Kamala Harris and Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, whose district includes Concord, where the Bueso family has lived for six years, urged the Department of Homeland Security to grant an extension of the medical deferred action protections (Homeland Security is the parent agency that includes USCIS and ICE).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11771439\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11771439\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS38885_IMG_1325-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Karla Barrera and her daughter, Maria Isabel Bueso, at their attorney’s offices in San Francisco on Aug. 29, 2019. “I haven’t slept for days,” said Barrera, 50, who fears her daughter could lose vital medical treatment in the U.S.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘We Made a Life Here’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='More Coverage']USCIS also told Bueso’s mother, father and older sister to leave the U.S. Bueso’s father, Alberto, works in sales at an import-export company, while her sister, Ana Lucia, is a preschool teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We made a life here. We left family, careers, friends behind in Guatemala for Maria Isabel,” said Bueso’s mother Karla Barrera, 50. “Getting a letter telling us that we have to leave the country in 33 days from the date of the letter is shocking. I’m still processing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso’s participation in the years-long clinical trial was important in getting the drug, called Naglazyme, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said Harmatz, who led the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be a devastating loss to our community,” said Harmatz. “It will be a tragic outcome for Isabel, after all she’s gone through, taking care of her disease.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso remembers watching as babies with her condition, also known as MPS VI, were given Naglazyme to help stop the disease’s progression early on and avoid some of the health issues she struggles with daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt really proud that I could help other people,” said Bueso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso and her family say if they are placed in deportation proceedings, they will fight their case as best they can.

The clinical trial eventually led to federal approval for the treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with Bueso’s disease lack an enzyme that allows the body to break down certain sugars.

Her doctor said the treatments have extended her life many years beyond what Guatemalan physicians had predicted when Bueso was a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without the weekly treatment replenishing the missing enzyme, Bueso would die in six to 12 months, said Dr. Paul Harmatz, a pediatrician at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and Bueso’s physician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seemed Bueso had finally reached a sense of stability until mid-August, when she got a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) informing her she was no longer authorized to stay in the country and had 33 days to leave or face deportation. The medicine she needs to survive is not available in Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s devastating,” said Harmatz, who led the clinical trial Bueso entered 16 years ago. “I would never even contemplate stopping enzyme therapy on a patient with this type of disease. It would be literally pulling the plug on a respirator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bueso was getting her weekly IV infusion at UCSF when she learned of the initial news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom and I, we started crying together.

Isabel’s father works and supports the family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy changes come as part of a series of new rules and interpretations of regulations by the Trump administration that are aimed at restricting new immigration and denying protections to immigrants already in the country, advocates say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such recent policies include penalizing green card applicants who use certain public benefits, and making it much harder for thousands of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border to gain asylum protections.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
